The Apex of Luxury: The Pure Vicuña Beanie

Experience the ultimate in winter essentials with our unique 100% Pure Vicuña Beanie, a sophisticated piece that redefines cold-weather luxury. Woven from the rarest and finest fibre on earth - the protected fleece of the Andean Vicuña - this beanie offers unparalleled style, featherlight comfort and a distinctly refined aesthetic.

Unrivalled Fineness and Comfort

Revered as the "Fibre of the Gods" since the time of the Incas, Vicuña is finer than cashmere, creating a texture that is exquisitely soft and surprisingly durable. This beanie delivers supreme comfort without the bulk, ensuring effortless style and warmth without overheating. Its minimalist, classic beanie silhouette lets the extraordinary quality of the material speak for itself, presenting a statement of discerning taste and quiet opulence.
Presented in its unique, natural golden - caramel hue, this headwear piece pairs flawlessly with any premium outerwear, establishing a benchmark for understated elegance.

Exclusivity and Provenance

At Borges & Scott, we understand that true luxury lies in provenance and integrity. The Vicuña is a protected species, and we are proud to be one of the very few UK-based companies that has obtained the special licence required to import this precious fibre, ensuring every purchase supports ethical and sustainable harvesting practices.

To guarantee authenticity and traceability, your scarf is accompanied by its full official certification and a unique reference number from our Peruvian partners. This documentation confirms that the fibre was sheared from only live animals in Peru under the strict control of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).

Because of strict import and export requirements, we can only supply this hat to UK addresses.

Enhance your (or your loved one's) wardrobe with a statement that is refined, exclusive and utterly timeless. This Vicuña hat is not just an accessory; it is an investment in pure, sophisticated comfort that defines a lifetime of style.

If you are not sure what your hat size is, please follow these simple instructions to find your size.

Measure your head at the level you would want the hat to sit at when you are wearing it.  This can vary a little according to your personal preference, but normally it would be across the middle of the forehead, pass a thumb’s width above your ears and around the widest part of the back of your head. 

Use a tape measure or a piece of string to find your size in centimetres.

Once you have the measurement in centimetres, this should be the hat size for you.  You may wish to move up or down one size if you prefer a particularly loose or tight fit.
